spring sparkle

 

 

On my way home from Palm Springs last week, I popped into the Prada outlet and found lots of signature sparkle and sheen--at mostly signature prices. I left empty-handed, only to be compensated this week by my discovery of Xu Zhi, a former JW Anderson intern, whose sequin-filled collection brings Prada-like pop but at outlet-like prices (under $300). I especially love the organza-lined sequin skirt, above. In the same vein there's Jacques Wei's satin slip dress, below, and the more Miu Miu-esque studded ($188) shirt by Citizens of Humanity and this bow-trimmed Lingua Franca cardigan. Lots of miu-miu-la saved!
